May 15, 2008 Pours an almost opaque black with a cocoa colored head that stays around the rim of the glass. Aroma is chocolate and vanilla, some fruit, some wood. Flavor is roasted malt, roasted wood, some dark fruit, with warming alcohol. The Palo Santo wood is on display here, and it does not disappoint. This tastes like the cousin of a porter. Very interesting and delicious beer.

May 15, 2008 Looks gorgeous, dark brown (opaque) with a creamy dark tan head. The aroma is very sweet and yummy: chocolate, raisins, vanilla, and a vague woodiness. The flavor does not disappoint: loaded with roast and a good balancing of wood and sweetness. Full creamy palate. A winner.
